Brief Answer: you may give acetaminophen (paracetamol) instead. Detailed Answer: Hi Mr XXXXXXX Asprin in his age of 96 can not be given at high doses that can combat fever. A good choice is paracetamol (Acetaminophen), which can be given 500 mg to 1 gram once or twice a day as required. Hoping for a quick recovery.
